You left Your throne for our salvation

Jesus Christ, the hope of our nation

Covered in flesh, in all of our weakness 
You were despised, embarrassed, and lonely  
Through Your shame we came alive

Out of the dark, and into Your likeness 
Caught in hope, a love so relentless 
Called by name, Your sons and Your daughters 
Bought with a price, we are alive
